Logie Durno Primary School – Page 2 – Enthusiastic, Creative, Confident Together

Green Screen

One of our priorities at Logie Durno is to make best use of technology in order to improve learning and teaching.

As part of our work on the Victorian era P4-7 have been learning about the plight of children who were forced to work. Here is the class using a home made green screen to script and film news bulletins. In this way they were able to demonstrate what they had learned in an engaging and creative way.

Oldmeldrum Numeracy Challenge

At the end of September four of our P6 & 7 pupils took part in the Oldmeldrum cluster Numeracy Challenge. They competed in a range of mathematical activities, including making a poster on the theme of “Multiples, Factors and Primes”. All four pupils did a fantastic job and made their school proud.

Roald Dahl Day 2016

We had a fantastic time celebrating the life and work of Roald Dahl. We had a special assembly, read from his stories and books, and created some themed artwork. The Primary 4-7 class also brought in their favourite Roald Dahl books and read them to P1-3.

Welcome to Megan Jaffray

In our ICT M.A.D (Making a Difference) group today we interviewed former pupil Megan Jaffray who has joined us at Logie Durno for a week of work experience. We used this as an introduction to writing a blog post.

The children wrote their own questions to ask her.

Probably getting to know all of you, because you’re all so nice.

Well done!

At assembly today three boys earned certificates. We awarded them for being confident in maths, an enthusiastic leaner and for inventing a creative maths games.

All of P4-7 earned a class certificate for the way they have looked after the younger members of school.

Gardening Day

Here are some pictures from this Saturday’s (20-8-16) gardening day. We had so much fun! We cleared the garden, painted our new outdoor stage, picked apples, painted our planters, moved our raised beds, dug a patch for our wildflower garden and started on our new den. Phew!

We are really excited about making improvements to the school grounds and using them for learning as much as possible. Thank you to everyone who came to support our school. We couldn’t have done it without you.

There are many educational benefits to using outdoor space for learning. If you’re interested in learning more have a read of this article from Education Scotland
